Today, EmpowerHome celebrates the birthday of our founder, Debbie Reynolds, our visionary leader and Director of Culture & Giving, whose heart, faith, and purpose built something more than a business. From the beginning, she set out to make an impact on our community, creating a culture centered on serving families and giving back to meaningful causes in the place we call home. That mission remains our guiding light and the foundation of everything we do.

From Mission to Movement

EmpowerHome was founded on a promise to serve families with excellence and to strengthen the communities where we live, work, and grow. What began as a vision in the DC Metro area has become a movement that now reaches families throughout Hampton Roads and across the country.

Our saying “Sell Big, Serve Big, Give Big” is more than a motto. It is a daily reminder that what we do is not only about real estate but about people, purpose, and impact. Every family we serve, and every family our friends and neighbors introduce us to, creates another opportunity to make a difference in our community and support causes that truly matter.

A Culture of Gratitude and Giving

The heart of EmpowerHome is rooted in generosity. In 2024, we donated over $600,000 to children’s hospitals, veterans and their families, adoption programs, and other life-changing causes. Our commitment to giving has been recognized as we were named among the Top 5 Corporate Philanthropists by Giving for 2025. While the recognition is meaningful, what truly inspires us is seeing lives changed through the work we do and the causes we support.

Looking Ahead with Purpose

Years ago, Debbie and Sarah Reynolds made a commitment to Give Back One Million Dollars Every Year to Every Community We Serve. With your continued trust and support, that vision is coming to life.

As we celebrate this special day with Debbie, we look forward with gratitude and excitement for what is ahead. We are dedicated to serving more families, uplifting more causes, and giving even more to the communities that mean so much to us. Every family we help represents another step toward fulfilling that dream.

Debbie’s belief that business can be a force for good continues to guide us every day. Happy birthday from all of us at EmpowerHome as we honor your leadership, vision, and heart for people.

As we celebrate Debbie’s birthday and the heart behind our mission, we are reminded that the best way to honor her legacy is by continuing to help others. Your introductions to your friends, family, and neighbors allow us to give back to incredible causes right here in Hampton Roads. Every family we serve helps us move closer to our mission of Giving Back One Million Dollars Every Year to Every Community We Serve. For every introduction you give, we donate to Fisher House Foundation and other worthy causes that make a lasting impact. We’ve guided thousands of buyers and sellers through every type of market, and we’d love to help you navigate this market with confidence!
